Netas scooted away in a not so subtly drunken manner. She sat at a nearby table and took a swig of the vodka, looking at the two thirds empty bottle before a thud was heard; Netas had finally passed out and her head was on the table, one of her hands still grasping the bottle.

Johnny nodded. "Ditto..." he started, then heard a muffled thump.
He turned his head, seeing a figure lying with its head on the table.. He took a few steps towards it, seeing it was Netas.
"I think I may be the only person here who hasn't passed out from alcohol?" he asked out loud, nudging Netas' leg with his foot.
"Yeah, out cold." he reported uselessly.

After listening to random conversation in the bar, Sally closed in on her acquaintance's words. After listening in from halfway across the bar, she gave up and walked in closer.
Walking up to Shae, she stuck out a hand, "I'm Sally. Although most of my guns aren't with me, I'm a gunman, yea." She looked down at herself, all tight clothes that would be bad in a fight. She looked back up, trying not to look disappointed with herself.

In an instant, there was a clicking sound as a gun was pointed at Johnny; it was an automatic response, even though she was sleeping. Netas' eyes even open, and soon her arm lowered as her head thudded against the table again, the gun still gripped in her dark-skinned hand while the other continued to clutch to the vodka bottle.

Shae couldn't help smiling as he looked at Sally. "Really? A gunman, dressed like that? I'd love to see that sometime." He shook her hand, laughing goodnaturedly. "I'm Marcus Shae. It's nice to meet you."
He watched Johnny and Netas over Sally's shoulder, smiling a little.

"Hey, these aren't my clothes. Mine got blood soaked. Oh, right... I need to leave town, more likely than not. Killing half the authorities in town was a bad choice on my part." Sally looked over at Johnny and Netas, and chuckled. Even though everyone had just met, it seemed to her that they were already all good friends.

"Oh, and here I thought you were dressed like that for fun." He removed his jacket. "Here. You can wear this until we find some more...suitable clothes, if you want." He went to the door and looked out a little. "We seem to be clear for now. Although, if we're going to move, we should do it soon."

"Well thats not safe" Johnny commented, reaching for the gun.
As slowly and quietly as he could, he put on the safety, just so if she did decide to go agro, nothing would happen.
"And there we are" he said simply, walking off to sit near the newcomer and Sally. "Yeah, we pretty much all are gunmen" he told Shae, unsure if he knew it already.

"Have you not been paying any attention to our conversation?" Sally said as she gratefully took the jacket and put it on, "You are telling him something that was almost obvious, and you didn't even mention my predicament?" She rolled her eyes and sat on a nearby stool.

Johnny laughed. "No, I haven't, I was busy doing the useless task of making sure that the girl over there is out cold. And what predicament, I don't remember these things very well" he said, leaning his chair back but hooking his feet around the table legs.
For once, he felt safe here, somewhere were he didn't have to sleep with one eye open and a gun under his pillow.

"Uhh, the fact that I just killed half of the flatfeet in town? Why did you think that there was no one patrolling the streets?" Sally said, annoyed at the obliviousness of Johnny, anyways, unless any of you comes with me, I'm gonna need to find new gunmen friends in one of my other regular towns."

Shae raised a hand a little. "Actually, I'm really glad I found you when I did. I'm pretty new to this whole 'gunman' thing. I have no real goals in life at the moment, so I figured I'd find other gunmen and learn what I can." He looked slightly embarrased. "I'm with you whenever you wanna go. I just need something to guide me."

Netas had woken up and was sitting up, her head resting on the hand holding the gun. "I suppose I'll go too.." Her words were still slurred, but not as bad as a little while ago.

Johnny thought for a moment. His life, thus far, had been a lonely, boring affair.
It took him all of 10 seconds to debate if he would go or not.
"Count me in" he said. "My life typically involves not doing anything of excitement, so I'll join you. Anything to get me moving, on the road, and doing something, anything, is something I'll do" he said.

Shae smiled broadly. "Well, looks like we're all in agreement then. We head out as soon as we can." He smiled at each person in turn, completely relaxed even though he had just met them.
